What I found, however: It seems to be related to the TERM environment variable. If I launch gnome-terminal and do a "export TERM=linux" and then launch emacs -nw I am not only able to see the "Umlaute" but I am also able to type them (just like on the virtual text console). Though not everything is perfect - for instance, in your above post apostrophes are replaced by question marks... Strange, if instead of emacs -nw I launch "vi" or lots of other programs in the same kind of "gnome-terminal" (with a TERM setting of TERM=xterm) I am able to type non-ascii German characters, not so with emacs. Ideas? Peter
